Huawei Watch GT 4

Huawei' s GT smartwatch line has had a turning point in the wearable technology market, because in addition to the high performance of its high-end health and sports devices, it also offers truly exceptional value for money. A detail that few models from other brands can match. This premise is maintained with the launch of the renewed Huawei Watch GT 4, which is presented as the direct rival of the Apple Watch Series 9 or the Garmin Vivoactive 5.

The latest update of this Huawei Watch GT 4 smart watch stands out for its complete catalogue of functions, which are accompanied by a very accurate GPS system, an excellent display and a great battery life. As with its previous versions, if this Watch GT 4 also stands out for anything, it's for its design, as it is a smartwatch developed to be worn 24 hours a day, which fits any style, and adapts to any daily and/or sporting situation.

New highlights of the Huawei Watch GT 4

Time goes by, and it has only confirmed that the Chinese multinational of technological components has been able to overcome the veto of the US, UK and Japan to its exports for an alleged issue of espionage, as Huawei has continued to develop very high-quality products to meet all kinds of needs of all types of users. The Huawei Watch GT 4 is a clear example of this.

While it is true that the Chinese giant has launched this fourth version of its premium Watch GT smartwatch almost leaving no time to appreciate another of its best-selling models like the Huawei Watch 4 Pro, launched last July, its strategy is more than evident: to offer the best products for different types of user, at the best price.

In this sense, the main new features brought by the Huawei Watch GT 4 with respect to its previous version, the Huawei Watch GT 3, and even the aforementioned Huawei Watch 4 Pro are summarised in the following points:

• New design.
• Increased battery autonomy.
• Improved health management 24 hours a day.
• Professional training assistant.
• Smart assistant.

Before starting with the breakdown of the strengths of this renewed Huawei Watch GT 4 it is important to refer to the available versions of this model: the 46mm version, whose dimensions are 46mm x 46mm x 10.9mm; and the 41mm version, whose dimensions are 41.3mm x 41.3mm x 9.8mm.

Renewed design and avant-garde icon

This is a section that we have already seen in the Huawei Watch 4 Pro, and which this model of the Huawei Watch GT 4 has also incorporated to improve the user experience. The dial features an octagonal and rounded design in the 46 mm version. While the 41 mm model incorporates a new ring bezel that glows at any time of the day.

Overall, now this Huawei Watch GT 4 is thinner and lighter, thanks to its more streamlined body, but also with a 1.43-inch AMOLED display (1.32-inch in the 41 mm version), 326 dots per inch and a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels.

The attractive design of the Watch GT 4 is completed with the possibility of using any of its more than 25,000 watch faces to customise it to your liking. Here are included some of its most premium dials, such as: Blooming, with which depending on your daily activity, the data blooms on the screen. Or Always On Display, which is capable of detecting your moments of inactivity and stimulates you to take action.

How long does the battery of the Huawei Watch GT 4 last?

Another of the sections that mark the differences of this Huawei Watch GT 4 with respect to its most direct competitors, such as the Apple Watch Series 9, for example, is that this smart watch by the Chinese company exceeds it, by a wide margin, in terms of power autonomy.

Huawei Watch GT 4 46 mm:

Huawei Watch GT 4 41 mm.

Health monitoring features of the Huawei Watch GT 4

The incorporation of this technology means that you will have the ability to measure and monitor with precision your heart rate from the wrist, SpO2, sleep and stress among other parameters.

The "secret weapon" of this Huawei measurement exclusive lies in its eight photoelectric sensors and its two groups of light sources. This is also combined with an improved Artificial Intelligence algorithm.

While its five-system dual-band global navigation satellite system (GNSS) as well as its enhanced satellite antenna system is also no slouch in delivering high accuracy in workout and daily activity metrics.

For its part, the Huawei TruSleep 3.0 technology monitors your rest and sleep so you can sleep with all the peace of mind you need, because it is able to detect abnormal breathing while you sleep.

Another practical and useful function, and exclusive for women, is that this smart watches allows you to have an estimate of your menstrual cycle, as well as ovulation and fertile periods at a glance.

With data-driven workouts, this Huawei Watch GT 4 applies its TruSeen 5.5 technology and smart satellite antenna system to deliver the highest possible accuracy so that you never miss a beat, and complete a data-driven workout.

The premise of this Chinese tech manufacturer's team is that: "the more you exercise, the more accurate your Watch GT 4 smartwatch is."

In addition, linked to the new Stay Fit app, the smartwatch also helps you to monitor the data of all the calories consumed in real time, taking into account whether you remain active, or at rest.

With this renewed Watch GT 4 on your wrist you will have no excuses not to overcome laziness, fight sedentary lifestyles and get into action with its more than 100 training modes, including new sports disciplines such as basketball, paddle tennis and soccer. Although it also offers an important catalogue of exercises for running, swimming, cycling, and even walking. All this with endless data and metrics in real time to evaluate your full potential as an athlete.

If you need extra motivation, this Huawei model includes voice guidance as you sweat it out with your running shoes on and rack up miles on your running sessions. The challenge of completing the 3 rings will lead you to set your daily goals of movement records, exercises and number of steps. Once you meet that goal, you will have your virtual medal as a reward.

Smart notifications to make your life easier

Of course this Huawei Watch GT 4 allows you to answer and reject calls from the watch itself, and even check the call log. It's not a trivial detail that you can see your SMS messages, and be able to answer with quick message already configured, or also with an emoji.

Additionally, the calendar application helps you to better organise your time and your workday to remain productive and proactive.
